Syracuse, NY – On Saturday, one Syracuse business will be invaded by a mob flashing cash.

Traditional flash mobs show up unexpectedly in a public place to sing or dance. Saturday's Cuse Mob organizers hope 75 to 100 people will show up at a local business at the same time Saturday to buy something.

The mob is being organized by SyracuseFirst, a non-profit network of locally-owned businesses dedicated to building a vibrant local economy.

“The Cuse Mob aims to engage participants with the ‘buy local’ message and ensure they have a great time doing it. We’re informing people about how their $10 purchase goes a long way to improve the quality of life in Central New York, said Chris Fowler, executive director of SyracuseFirst.

“The Cuse Mob will give us all an opportunity to have a measurable impact on a business in our community,” he said in a press release.

SyracuseFirst’s cash mob is piggy backing on other mobs that have taken place nationwide, said Jamie R. White, the group's communications director.

If you want to take part in SyracuseFirst’s Cuse Mob, you’ll need to keep an eye on the group’s website for clues as to where and when to mob the business.

Participants are asked to wear orange and to spend a nominal amount at the chosen business that will be revealed through clues throughout the week.

There will be an announcement on the SyracuseFirst website on Friday if you haven’t figured out the business by then, White said.

Only one business will benefit Saturday, in what organizers believe will be the first in a series of cash mobs at local businesses, he said.
